Before you register, consider some advice from
recent brides we’ve surveyed. With time to reflect,
some of them have realized they’d do things differently.

“I actually didn't register for linens. I should have. The price range is right for wedding gifts and registering is essential since there is nothing more useless than some charming lemon yellow towels in your slate gray bathroom. I know now that I would choose to receive lots of some neutral towels and put some away to keep them nice for guests. Also, I'd register for beach towels or bath sheets because they are so handy. Now that I consider the possibilities, it would be great to register for coordinated sheets comforter shams, etc., right down to the curtains and dust ruffles, especially at a national chain that would be accessible on the net.”
- Jeanne V.

“My best advice is listen to your mother’s advice when you register. My favorite things I registered for were probably the comforter, pillows and sheets on our bed. And my china, too, since I never would have bought it later. I wish I’d registered for nice pots and pans.”
- Katie M.

“To be honest, I didn't register for any linens or towels. I already had plenty and there were other things that were a priority. I guess it would have been nice to receive some of that as gifts. Linens and towels are good, useful gifts and a good price range for a gift.”
- Jessica S.

“I’m so glad I registered for lots of towels – you can never have too many. Also, I love my king-sized, big fluffy feather pillows. I wish I had registered for more sheets and a feather bed/mattress pad. We want one now, and it's the last thing you want to spend your own money on.”
- Wendy P.

“It would have been worth the investment to have registered for higher quality towels. I felt bad about registering for expensive things (i.e. higher quality items) but in the end, it would have been nice to have some of the gifts last longer!”
- Jessica W.

“ I am happy that I registered for high quality Egyptian cotton towels and sheets – something you may not buy for yourself.”
